- the actual code is in pkg/install - including a readiness probe, monitoring.
    - it also sets up a UDS socket for istio-cni to send logs to this container.
    - based on config, it may run the 'repair' controller that detects pods where istio setup fails and restarts them, or created in corner cases.
    - if ambient is enabled, also runs an ambient controller, watching Pod, Namespace

TODO. It is possible to add Istio-CNI later, and gradually migrate.

### Install Control plane

This can run in any cluster. A mesh should have at least one cluster should run Pilot or equivalent XDS server,
and it is recommended to have Pilot running in each region and in multiple availability zones for multi cluster.

```bash

```bash
kubectl create ns $WATCH_NAMESPACE --dry-run -o yaml | kubectl apply -f -
kubectl create ns $LEADER_ELECTION_NAMESPACE --dry-run -o yaml | kubectl apply -f -
```

1. From the istio repo root directory, run `go run ./operator/cmd/operator/*.go server`

To use Remote debugging with IntelliJ, replace above step 2 with following:

1. From `./operator/cmd/operator` path run
